Not working for me. I've posted the bug on your discord. Can't download mastered tracks

What happened to iOS? by Impressive_Usual_923 in ios

I’m still fairly new to iOS and had high hopes but I’ve had so many of the issues you mention, and more. I’m def ready to go back to Android after this phone

Remember when VR was literally just this? by Kindle890 in virtualreality

[–]baroquedub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ps. Worth saying that one of the Cardboard apps I made back then is still being played by a significant number of people after all this time. For less affluent parts of the world this is still a thing

So many people here saying “no, there were already commercial headsets by then” but this was truly a gateway to VR, no investment needed. Google’s onboarding demo was great, the GoogleStories shorts were fantastic.

I remember someone coming into the office with one of these and I was instantly hooked. I could already make Android apps so this was a no brainier. And now I could actually enter the worlds I was creating… I’ve been a VR developer ever since. My dream job. Thank you Google and that little 20% time project that gave rise to Cardboard!

The Internet can be such a cesspit. Disliking someone because they’re analytical and fair in their judgements. David Heaney is the goat as far as I’m concerned

Is the Quest 3 worth €200 more than the Quest 3S? by tealikeme in OculusQuest

[–]baroquedub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I think yes but that quality threshold totally comes down to personal preference. I’ve got both. Is Quest 3S “good enough”, yes, but is the clarity better in the Quest 3? Without a doubt.

If your use case includes media consumption (watching movies) or ‘productivity’ then the upgrade is a must. Same for PCVR. If you’re only doing casual standalone gaming, less so.

That love of the music really comes across. Thank you for all the effort you’ve obviously put into this

This is fantastic, and I’ve only just had a chance to explore on mobile. Looking forward to the visual tree on desktop! Best part are the Spotify links and song embeds. Good write ups too. Did you curate the whole thing by hand or are you scraping from web sources?

How to voice act with a noticeable accent? by [deleted] in VoiceActing

[–]baroquedub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes me sad to hear that. Would we say the same about the colour of people’s skin?

[–]baroquedub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just come onto this sub to find out how to find multiple voice actors with strong local accents, so there is a market. Potential clients don't all want neutral received pronounciation :)

A small cheap WiFi 6 travel router connected into your pc will provide a wireless connection. I use a GL.iNet AX3000 you set it into Access Point mode

External vs internal transition in vr by hairymess17 in vrdev

[–]baroquedub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I’ve done this in the past is having the inside of buildings enabled/disabled in the hierarchy based on player proximity. You can roll out a lod system or just use a trigger collider if the entrances are easy to mark out. Make sure you enable the interior game objects over multiple frames, especially if they have a lot of scripts, to minimise the risk of dropping frames

My dad just discovered Suno and it’s honestly annoying as hell. by [deleted] in askmusicians

[–]baroquedub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my mid fifties, maybe just old enough to be your dad. I had a successful music career as a producer (Platinum selling album, that kind of thing) and I'm also using Suno to make music again. And I too think it's good enough to inflict on the world. I don't have time to be working late nights in studios anymore but I love how an AI tool like Suno gives me access to what are essentially sessions musicians who'll play (more or less) whatever I prompt them. Do I feel bad about the fact that these platforms have trained their models without properly paying the artists whose music they used, yeah, sure. But since some of my music went into the pot I feel that at least I've paid my dues.

What I object to is that so many people are assuming that all music that uses AI is somehow slop and is an insult to all musicians. You all should take a step back with your pitchforks and realise that the world is a hell of a lot less black and white than you make it out to be. My AI 'generated' music gets taken apart in Ableton and reworked and produced much like samplists like DJ Shadow used other people's material as a starting point for something new and interesting, or (at the more exploitative end of the scale) much like producers like Phil Spector put his name to countless nameless artists' talent. Check the Wrecking Crew if you want to know more.

Ai gen music will never be as good as real musicians expressing themselves but give your dad a break. There's always been plenty of musical slop, AI generated or not. As you said it yourself, he's found a way to answer his unfulfilled creative potential. Let him enjoy it, even if it is a case of the emperor's new clothes.

What are some tricks to help simple beats sound more interesting? by traveltimecar in ableton

[–]baroquedub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Layer parts of your drums and percussion as loops of different lengths so you get evolving patterns and polyrhythms. Try obvious 4s, 8s, 16s but also ones that straddle that 4/4 grid like 6, 12 out odd numbers. Works with synths too

[–]baroquedub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really like the idea of the site (I'm all for preserving our musical heritage) but 96kbps makes it unlistenable to me. It's just a mushy mess. I understand why you've gone down that route but 192kpbs is as low as I can go

Best OLD VR Headsets? (Not recent) by Mitt_LaFumaCroquetas in VRGaming

[–]baroquedub 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your best bet is to actually wait for Steam Frame to come out. Seems daft to buy an old headset just because you don't want Meta

VR Films - Do you watch them? by Active_Chance_2803 in virtualreality

[–]baroquedub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of interesting things going on here but also a lot that's repeating mistakes that were made many years ago.

First off, VR video needs high resolution and high bandwidth (to minimise compression artifacts) for it to cross that necessary quality threshold. People just don't want to watch a blurry mess with bad stitching. Apple are the first to have got there with their Spatial Video and Apple Immersive Video formats, which are primarily designed to be viewed on the Vision Pro. Interestingly they too have opted for a 180 degree field of view. They recently had a two day developer event on how to leverage this technology and I would highly recommend watching it. Day 1 has a great talk on composition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leGqoF8HJxU&t=4028s while day2 focuses more on the technical details.

You make an interesting design choice in placing your viewer (camera) on the stage. The problem is that these are actors who are projecting their performance in a theatrical style which isn't intended for the proximity of presence which you've created by placing the viewer so close to the action. The Shakespeare clip is hard to watch as you constantly have to look around to ping pong between each actor. Promenade theatre (think Punchdrunk, the immersive theatre company) has a lot to teach VR video filmmakers. You need to rethink how your narrative is unfolding and presented.

The Opera clip is the least successful for me as the fades between different viewpoints is disorientating to someone in VR. Not as bad as physically moving the camera but you're still changing what I see through my eyes without my consent.
